    (Ahi Evran Üniversitesi, 2021-07-14) Taştan, Seçil; İşiaçık, Serin
    Recent literature has shown the contributions of positivity in organizations, but less is known about the impact of spirituality and safety feelings as an extension of positive psychology on individuals’ innovative work behaviors. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, it is suggested that the conditions encouraging employees’ perceptions and attitudes as well as their innovative work behaviors (IWBs) have been changed. Based on the positive psychology approach, workplace spirituality and psychological safety are seen as important factors on employees’ IWBs. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationships among perceived workplace spirituality, psychological safety, and employees’ IWBs within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Employees working in different private sectors in Istanbul (N= 251) participated in the current research. The statistical analyses revealed that workplace spirituality contributed to employees’ innovative behaviors, and psychological safety fully mediated this relationship. Based on the findings, practical and conceptual implications of this study are discussed and future directions are presented.

    Towards enhancing happiness at work with the lenses of positive organizational behavior: The roles of psychological capital, social capital and organizational trust
    (Lumen Publishing House, 2020-06) Taştan, Seçil; Küçük, Burcu Aydın; İşiaçık, Serin
    In this study, based on the approach of humanization of the postmodern organizations and depending on the conceptual background, it was suggested that psychological capital and social capital could be the significant antecedents of employee happiness at workplace. Further, it was proposed that organizational trust has a moderating role on the impact of psychological capital on happiness at workplace. Thereby, a cross-sectional research study has been performed in Turkey with the participation of 222 employees from a variety of sectors including sales, marketing, health, banking, finance and education. According to the findings, it was reported that the psychological capital construct (beta=,778; t=18,370, p<,05) and social capital (beta=,746; t=16,621, p<,05) had significant positive impacts on employees' happiness at workplace. These findings supported the proposed hypothesis 1 and hypothesis 2. In addition, it was demonstrated that organizational trust has significant positive impact on happiness at workplace (beta=,544, t=9,590, p<,05). However, the results indicated that organizational trust has no significant moderating role (p>0,05), thus hypothesis 3 was not confirmed. Further research direction and the need for research on organizational trust's moderating role are discussed. The conceptual and practical implications of the study are provided along with the concluding remarks and discussions.
